THE Southern NSW Street Lugers continue to slide to success with some great results as the Australia street luge season wraps up

Batemans Bay’s Nic McKirdy has reclaimed the national Street Luge and Classic Luge number one ranking, and was crowned the national champion after setting the 1.83km downhill track alight at the Noosa ProAM on the weekend. More on that later…

The year's Australian rankings have now been decided with some great results from the lugers who hail from Narooma and Bermagui.

“We go to as many races as we are able. We are a small group enthusiastic of south coast riders who go out as often as we can,” Bermagui luger Ken Jacobs said.

“Anyone can join in. Safety gear is essential. Some training is required at first.”

Nic tops the lot

McKirdy and two others were in the main players in the hunt for the domestic title and he claimed the trophy after placing second in classic luge and winning the street luge final.

McKirdy said being the national champion took while to sink in after he finished the street luge final.

“I sat there and I couldn’t believe it,” McKirdy said.

“My goal was to reclaim the rankings title which I held in 2012 and to be the national champion is a huge relief.”
